The car has a lowsweeping profile, and has an appearance similar to the 2008-present Jaguar XF.

The car has a shortcompact profile and has an appearance similar to a [[wp:Maserati Quattroporte|Maserati Quattroporte]] and [[wp:Volvo S60|2014 Volvo S60]] especially the front fascia. It is somewhat similar to a more compact version of the2011 [[wp:Jaguar XF|Jaguar XFR]], but it's profile is much more compact with a higher bonnet/hood profile, different rear lights, fascia, and side air intakes (which are mostly similar to a Maserati, which the other Ocelot model is based on). Some of the design has taken some cues from the [[wp:Tesla Model S|Tesla Model S]]. The rear takes most of its design influence from the [[wp:Opel_Insignia|Opel Insignia]] (a.k.a. [[wp:Buick_Regal|Buick Regal]] in the USA) and second generation [[wp:File:Saab_9-5_2.0_TiD_Vector_(II)_–_Heckansicht,_13._März_2011,_Wuppertal.jpg|Saab 9-5]], featuring a chrome strip connected to stylized C-shaped rear light units.

Theoverall performance of the Jackal makes it an excellent choice for a getaway vehicle. It corners surprisingly well for such a big sedan, and acceleration and braking are very good also, although under stress it does have a tendency to lock the front brakes up. The Jackal is also well-built, meaning it can take a number of hits before being disabled. Top speed is acceptable, but nothing spectacular.

*The car appears in [[The Long Stretch]] mission, which serves as a getaway car for [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]], [[Lamar Davis|Lamar]], and [[Stretch (character)|Stretch]].

+

* Can be found driving around the [[Paleto Bay]] area.

==Trivia==

==Trivia==

+

*The default radio station of the Jackal is:

+

**'''''GTA V''''': [[FlyLo FM]] or [[Soulwax FM]].

+

*In [[Grand Theft Auto Online]] the Jackal sells for $6,000 at [[Los Santos Customs]]. When fully modified, it only can sell for $93,750.

+

*It has a similar engine sound of the [[wp:Jaguar XFR|Jaguar XFR]].

+

*The car's name comes from the name of a [[wp:Jackal|wild dog]], but it could also be inspired by the unnamed British assassin "Jackal", from Frederick Forsyth's 1971 novel "The Day of the Jackal", and its 1973 movie adaption.

+

*The Jackal is considered as a Coupé although it has four doors, suggesting that it is a "four-door coupé" or a fastback sedan.

+

*The fact that both the make and model of the car are named after animals is likely a parody of the prevalence of animal-named makes and models throughout the automotive industry.

+

*When the Jackal is viewed from at least one car length behind, the right taillight appears to be broken even if the car hasn't been in an accident. However if you get closer to it the taillight will appear as normal. This might be a texture glitch.
